Kern High School District’s (KHSD) Nutrition Services Department will provide free breakfast and lunch to all children ages 2 to 18 during the school closures beginning Wednesday,
March 18 through Thursday, April 9. Students can receive meals from any elementary or high school, regardless of the district which they attend. All schools operated by KHSD will serve “grab and go” meals between the hours of 11:00 am to 1:00 pm Monday through Friday. Students can either receive meals at the drive-through location established at the bus-loading zone or walk to the pick-up location to receive lunch and breakfast for the following day. If driving, we ask that parents and students remain in their vehicles while Nutrition Services distributes meals to each child in the car. Students need to be present to receive their meals.
Students who have special meal accommodations on file will need to communicate with the Nutrition Services office staff to confirm if they will pick up their meals daily. Parents should contact Nutrition Services at (661) 827-3190 for these services.
Nutrition Services is working with the KHSD Transportation Department and the Kern County Superintendent of Schools Transportation Department to distribute meals directly to our most vulnerable student population. We anticipate daily transporting meals to the homes of our students with disabilities, who typically have door-to-door transportation services. Each day, these students will receive lunch and breakfast for the following day.
